Inside, natural light streams through your windows into the bright, spacious primary bedroom and comfortable guest bedroom, separate large full bath, and a light, well equipped kitchen, a breakfast bar, washer/dryer, and open dining area. Delight in the bright, spacious living room bathed in warm, sunny light and mountain views. A solid practical home, a safe, self-sufficient enduring community, fresh mountain air, crystal clear starry nights that make you feel a part of the Milky Way. And quiet. Very quiet... Pinyon Crest is an official national monument and a designated wildlife habitat. So come up, take a look; breathe the air and make an offer. Then take your best friend out for a walk. Welcome to your new home and peace of mind.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1989, this property is 35 years old and shows clear signs of its age. The kitchen features dated tile flooring and what appear to be original light wood cabinets and standard appliances. The bathroom is also significantly outdated with tile countertops, a dated vanity, and wallpaper, consistent with late 1980s/early 1990s styling. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, it has not undergone major renovations, and key areas like the kitchen and bathroom would require updates to meet modern standards and buyer expectations. The overall condition aligns with a property built within the last 25-40 years with no major renovations since construction, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 44867, living area = 1382.
Exclusive Community & Amenities: Located in the private Pinyon Crest community, residents benefit from community-owned water wells, graded roads, mailboxes, locking back gates for security, and professional HOA management with a resident operator/mechanic.

Expansive Lot & Panoramic Mountain Views: Features a generous one-acre lot with stunning panoramic mountain views, providing ample space for outdoor living and enhanced privacy.

Cons

Significant Overpricing & Valuation Discrepancy: The listing price of $405,000 is considerably higher than the estimated property value of $216,794, indicating a potential overvaluation that may deter buyers.
High HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $544.5 is substantial for a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, potentially impacting affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Limited Bathroom Count & Age: The home features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which can be a functional limitation. Built in 1989, it may require updates to meet modern buyer expectations, incurring further investment.
